Coffee shop with lots of natural light. The interior is beautiful, but the seats were a little uncomfortable, especially the ones against the walls. It was also a little on the expensive side, and I didnt love the coffee too much. Happy I tried it out; might give it another try in the future!

I like the place! It’s totally like a coffee house or something! So unique! Other staff are way more friendly than others! I like the Spanish latte that we ordered! A must try coffee place! If you’re a coffee-Holic .

Nice place if there is so many customers outside you cant find a parking to enjoy the coffee inside. The atmosphere is awesome but one thing which is the most important thing that the coffee with milk is served super extra hot as a standard which kills the specialty taste... I wouldnt pay 25 for burnt coffee.. Maybe next time I will tell them cool milk temperature.. BTW I told them warm milk still it was too hot

Good coffee ☕️ in good place

Pros- decent location in Khalidiyah, great open space with plenty of plugs for connecting your laptop, and it SMELLS like coffee. I love that smell. Staff friendly.Cons- the iced latte was a bit weak for me.

One of the best coffee in AD highly recommend 👍🏽👍🏽 a bit pricey compared to the others ,, but honestly it worth 👍🏽👍🏽 well done

Everything was perfect!! The beans, baristas, atmosphere and staff friendliness. Everything on point. I also met the owner who is a very humble and young local guy, kudos!!

Delicious coffee selections and yummy deserts 💗highly recommended ..Note to the owners: keep the good work and try to add more salty selections 😇👌🏻

Very welcoming atmosphere . Great staff . They closed when we were inside but were so polite to let us set even after they closed

Very nice coffeeshop and very friendly staff. The outdoor area is small but very nice in this lovely weather. Tried the piccolo and Latte with Brazilian beans both were good but we had better tastes

Nice place to hangout, mainly for guys. Great coffee and great service

Very special coffee with different kinds of beans origin. Location is nice. Simple and nice interior design with setting out area.

I tried the iced latte and it was among the best I ever had. Parking is sometimes challenging but they do take orders from the vehicles and offer mobile payment.

The Location of the cafe is perfect, it’s small cafe but nice to try it. Sitting area indoors and outdoors are available. The coffee was tasty I tried the v60. They have variety of desserts selection. The cafe is very busy in the evening. They selling different coffee beans. Parking space is available inform of the cafe.

Amazing place! The vibe is chill and the coffee is the best in the capital. This is the spot that Abu Dhabi never knew it needed 😎

New place in Abu Dhabi City ( just opened ), they have one kind of coffee ( Brazil ) till now, the place is clean and modern. its a bit hot during the day. The coffee quality☕️ is good but there is a room for improvement, service is good, price in comparison with their peers is a bit high. ( Long Black ) price usually around 15-16 AED/ Cup, But here is 21 AED. Its obvious the owner is following up his business, wish him all the best. 👍

Great coffee 10/10 , el cheese cake 9/10

Cartel coffee is one of the best coffee shops in Abu Dhabi. I really enjoyed their coffee every time I visited them. Also I would recommend you guys to buy their coffee beans its one of the best.

Hospitable and very comfy. The perfect place to hang around with your friends. The coffee was amazing. The service was perfect. Cartel Coffee Roasters feels and smells just like home. Highly recommend

Speciality coffee roastery, great space coffee and sweets

Good one

My FAVORITE coffee shop in Abu Dhabi I must pass by it every week I always craving their coffee 😍❤️Literally can’t get enough of it 👌🏼

Good coffee, but the price is higher than other places like starbuck

Very nice cofe and service. The staff are very friendly here.

👏🏻👍🏻 really good coffee

Nice environment, and idea. Its a coffee roasting house and coffee shop. You can watch, and possibly learn something about, roasting coffee. The owner, Nasr, also roasts and is passionate about sharing his experience. Worth listening. They serve Chemex, V60, cold drip, espresso and various other techniques coffees. Of course, various coffe beans and various roasting styles too. Interesting experience. Nice desserts. Quite popular with Emiratis. I enjoyed.

High quality roastery ,top in abudhabi

Really special coffee over there .. all people are coming to here ... it is very popular although it is expensive ... amazing

Very bad service, at 10:40 morning when its not a peak time as it look in the coffeshope I had to wait for more than 18 minutes for a cup of coffee and yet not had it

Incredible tasting coffee and friendly staff, super recommended.

Got a bag of the Colombia to try out at home. The roast was perfect for V60, and the packaging was great. Highly recommend. Cant wait to try out other coffees from their selection!

Had the best cappuccino since a decade. My friend tried the Spanish latte so I am going to try it today.Be careful! You will get addicted to their coffee (roast and beans).

Great coffee, staff friendly service 5/5.

Excellent coffee and quick service.

I think Cartel is one of the best speciality coffee shops

Very good atmosphere. They have excellent coffee and the baristas very friendly.

Tried their Panama Geisha as V60 it was very nice taste

One of the best specialty coffee in Abu Dhabi

Great coffee and atmosphere

Nice place to have morning coffee 👌🏻

Amazing coffee place and reasonable prices

I saw some people smoking there inside and I left the place cause of that..

Amazing place. Great name. Very good coffee

I tried to call the guy talking orders from the car and he ignored me

A small coffee limited seats the staff isn’t welcoming we ordered flat white which was very good I really enjoyed it and we also ordered two cakes which took them 15 min to bring it to our table and have to ask them twice to finally reach our table

Wow what an experience! This has to be one of the best coffee experiences I’ve ever had in my life!

Great venue! love coming here everyday! Highly recommend for coffee lovers! Very nice environment and friendly staff that makes you feel very welcome. Perfect menu no need extra. Favorite drink - piccolo brazil. Special thanks to the manager, always attentive to the needs has a very good knowledge.

Great coffee and aesthetic! Felt like Australian coffee houses. Very organic.

Very ignorant team, i stood for more than 20 minutes to place my order. Left due to poor service

Friendly Staff, cosy atmosphere & the best Cortado in town👌🏻!

Great ambience and friendly service. A coffee roaster is placed next to the counter and information about coffee is posted around the counter area.Coffee is boutique-style priced.The coffee roast that I tried had a distinct taste that might split opinions.

Amazing coffee amazing place they roast there coffee and you drink it fresh

Amazing roaster. they roast the coffee bean. cool spot in Abu Dhabi

Highly recommended to try their coffee and desserts. Lovely place

One of the best coffees in town

Unique experience, delicious coffee

A bit pricey, but coffee here is really good

Expensive compared to similar establishments and the cakes etc are always in short supply... but guaranteed quality products nonetheless. Good helpful staff, most are cheerful but not all.

Good coffee and great atmosphere, what more can you ask for? 😉

Bad service, no one came to take our order and they ignored us and serve other cars ( super fancy cars)We all humans!!I just needed coffee beans only and it won’t take a minute to get it but, thank you this will be my last time to visit oh yes it won’t be something important for you guys u just serve your type of people 👎

Coffee 💯Service 💯Ambiance 💯Im definitely coming again with more friends.

The best speciality coffee shop in AD

Awesome Latte, lovely staff.

Great coffee and very nice staff

I knew I would like this place just by looking at it from across the road. The entire space was welcoming and open. They flew through all of us to get us the coffee quickly. I went with a standard coffee and it was delicious. Kudos for using paper straws as well! If it werent jammed, I would happily stay there to work!

We stopped here after struggling to find a place to sit in and have coffee around the area on a Saturday midday. We found Cartel Coffee Roasters and luckily managed to nab ourselves a seat. The coffee is very special here and staff are lovely! Stunning interiors, too.Very comfortable place, recommended by a close friend to stop here for a good brunch and coffee is great. ☕️

Pricey but damn good coffee. They sell beans as well for those with the necessary equipment at home. Highly recommend.

Pick up order, Spanish Latte which was not bad.

Jeff made us amazing coffee love it

A popular cafe with good coffee, their highlight being super exuberant staff who serve with a smile and great company.

Good coffee

Great coffee and good treats! The Spanish latte was delicious. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly, and atmosphere is very welcoming and intimate. I truly appreciate the service and vibe

Place is a bit small but cozy. seems to be popular as the place was almost always full, the coffee i tried was the latte and my friend had a cappuccino and they were both great. the place is worth a try in my opinion :) its simple and has a nice atmosphere.

Their coffee never fails my taste buds. Thank you Cartel!! ❤️❤️

The place looks nice, tried out Panama with cuppcino and was good

A New favourite coffee shop to work from. The service is amazing, and the staff are just so lovely! Including the floor manager who ensures youre being served and checks on all his customers. The food is totally worth it, their small dishes are huge! And the coffee.... THE COFFEE! Probably the best coffee shop coffee in the area.

Best coffee in town.Great service too. It tends to get busy, though.

Good coffee and sorrounding to sit and enjoy...

Great coffee and food place.Great tasting coffee, great tasting food. In a great interior designed off the main street, big front windows letting in loads of light, you can sit up at the bar area, table area, or along the front by the windows.Friendly staff who are always happy to help.Worth a visit and a coffee and something to eat.

Nice cafe to try.

Has one of the best coffee beans in Abu Dhabi plus they sell coffee drinks which are amazing. Love everything about this place.

Such an amazing chill place to enjoy a great cup of coffee. Such an amazing aesthetic interior design a really great spot to grab cup of coffee with friends. I don’t usually drink more than three cups of coffee a day but man I kept ordering piccolo is just Devine the service is just amazing the staff is very very friendly. Finally a great spot in Abu Dhabi the true meaning of specialty coffee. *MUST VISIT**WARNING YOU MIGHT IN LOVE*

Best cafe in town.

Just had a business meetings here and I had a really superb experience. Great coffee, amazing desserts and lovely atmosphere. Reminds me a lot of coffee shops youd find in Melbourne. Definitely Ill be back.

Best Ethiopian v60 so far. Quiet and serene. I wish they would serve more food with their coffee. I was the only lady in the room, which felt a bit awkward. But the people who visit are respectable and I didnt feel unwelcomed.

Very nice place and atmosphere

Cool cafe in the heart of Abu Dhabi. Coffee quality is high and their fresh dessert are delicious. The staff are unfailingly friendly. I felt that the shop has an individual identity.

This was a whole new experience, as soon as I opened the door I felt like I was in a whole new world. Piccolo and Spanish Latte was very tasty. Atmosphere was very chill and a great vibe, staff were extremely friendly and professional.

They have perfect v60

Great tasting coffee...rich taste and perfectly made

Glad I saw the signs for this place while walking around Abu Dhabi! Its a great working environment with really kind staff. The coffee was delicious and the space was real clean. I would definitely choose this place over any other cafes in Arabian Gulf Street.

Favourite place for brunch and great coffee in Abu Dhabi. Great, efficient, friendly service with an incredible twist on the classic coffee benedict. Couldn’t fault the food, coffee or the decor. Plenty of seating styles available for single diners, those that want a laptop friendly space and groups. Definitely worth a visit.

Great coffee place, and they use their own roasted beans..Dessert selection is great as well..Will definitely come back for more..

Great taste of coffee although service could be better

The foam will disappear in 3 min, i visit the place more than one time but it happen again, the croissant is nice, its not oily i like the Zatar.very bad service . the coffee is taste bad plus i recavie it cold

I saw cartel on my back home and I said let’s give it a chance. Service was amazing, coffee well flavoured and roasted. Honestly one of the best coffee shops in AD that focus on real coffee. Will be included in my daily routine.

Definitely one of the best cafes in AbuDhabi. The coffee was a joy and the place was amazingly welcoming and comfortable. Will be back for sure

Best coffee

The coffee is absolutely spectacular, I’ve tried their Spanish latte and their piccolo and they were both delicious. Definitely one of the best, if not the best coffee spot in Abu Dhabi

The favorite thing for me in this shop is to buy beans ✌️
